Default What are some good cam gears?

Ive read everywhere people saying so and so's cam gears timing marks are not right. and some of them use 3 allen head screws to adjust.

Im looking for a Accurate timing and like a 5 bolt design that doesnt use allen heads id like for something to be like a 12 point or 6 point head. Something that will not slip. my AEM cam gears like to move alot. about every 2 weeks i got to re adjust them and retorqe them.

Never used them, but you get what you pay for imo especially when it's a SPOON product http://www.inlinefour.com/spooncamspro.html
Some extra ones http://www.inlinefour.com/adcamgear.html

I like the St Corsa Gears. Accurate timing marks and locking bolt.

well, those are 6x1mm thread. they should be torqued to no more then 10 lbs/ft, easily attainable with the correct allen head on socket. i have been running the todas for 5 years with ZERO problems.

sounds like youre either torquing them down too tightly or using the wrong allen wrench

i had the skunk2's and the st corsa's.

both worked great, i just got the st corsa's b/c of the locking bolt, it made me feel a little bit more secure about not slipping

I used to have toda cam gears
They wear very sturdy and more than three bolts which is always a good thing
They also only advanced and retarded 5 degrees which was the main reason why i go them because if for some reason they would have slipped they would have only moved 5 degrees instead of 10 like most other cam gears

uh oh.... this thread looks like its going to go under soon.

Anyway i have a pair of A.P.e 6 bolt adjustible cam gears. I never put them on but does anyone know if there any good or not? I plan on putting them on when i get a thicker head gasket but if there not good for boost then ill switch to something else.
